which was described in Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto. In fact the
phrase communist state is an oxymoron itself as Marx beleaved that
in the ideal communist state a government would not be needed as it
is only a tool used by the ruling class to separate the Prolitariat.
The closest Russia ever came to Marx's ideals was the final stage
before communism, The Dictatorship of the Prolitariat, which in case
you are too ignorant is the current working class, which is a
totalitarian socialist state.For another point our society is slowly edging towards Gradualism,
which is the gradual process of creating a countryless, classless,
utopian society.In closing I would like to add a quote from Marx just for fun.
"RELIGION IS THE OPIUM OF THE MASSES."
None.
